The QUEEN of PUMPS… electric and SMART | Mojietu Cordless Speed Air Pump Lightning
I never thought I'd have to talk to you about such a product, but today's technology used on the most common objects is worth telling and I'm also quite excited about doing it because the ability to transform a traditional product into a smart device is not from everyone.
I refer to the Mojietu brand, belonging to the more famous Roidmi that we appreciated for the excellent quality / price ratio of its products dedicated to cleaning but also to the automotive sector. And the Mojietu Cordless Speed Air Pump Lightning portable compressor refers to this last sector, but not only that, a very long name to pronounce and remember but which immediately indicates two of its great functions, such as speed and integrated light. So let's find out together in this complete review.
Clearly the solution offered by Mojietu takes inspiration from what Xiaomi proposed with its Air Pump, but compared to this the technical specifications and the design are decidedly more premium, and in this regard I invite you to read this article. Even the unboxing experience is definitely satisfying, as once the package is opened we find a precious padded case with everything needed to start inflating everything, divided into a compartment, as well as a practical mesh pocket for thread small objects. Specifically, the package contains:
- Mojietu Cordless Speed Air Pump Lightning;
- Hose;
- Presta valve nozzle adapter (typically used on bicycle tubulars);
- Needle nozzle adapter (typically used for inflating balloons);
- Plastic nozzle adapter (to be used for inflating mattresses and similar);
- Type-C charging cable;
- Carrying case;
- Instruction manual (Chinese and English language only).
The first impression with the Mojietu compressor is decidedly positive as is the sensation to the touch and this is due to the use of premium materials such as aluminum that completely envelops the main body, where we can admire the Mojietu inscription carved into the metal, denoting attention to design but at the same time to functionality, as this solution allows the electric pump to cool down. On the back we find the Type-C input for recharging the device, while below this a small status LED has been inserted that will suggest how much remaining charge we have available. In fact, the fixed blue LED means that the battery has a charge higher than 30%, while the fixed red color the percentage of charge is between 20 and 30%, and finally if the LED flashes red, we will have a value less than 20% for which it will be necessary to fill up with energy.
While we are talking directly about autonomy, which in the case of the Mojietu compressor relies on a 2600 mAh battery, rechargeable via Type-C in about 4 hours using an input of 5V / 2A (10W). Also know that at the system level all the safety precautions are inserted as well as the fact that if the device is not used for 3 minutes, it will turn off automatically, thus preserving the battery charge.
Ok but how far can we go with a 2600 mAh battery? The company declares that with a single charge we could face the inflation of 9 bike wheels or 6 car tires, or 7 motorcycle wheels or 44 soccer balls. Of course, these data may vary according to the size of the tire, how unloaded it is etc .. but personally I can tell you that I have inflated the wheels of two cars, two bikes and 3 footballs and still have a charge higher than 30 %.
But what makes this gadget particularly attractive is its extreme portability, not only through the supplied case but also individually, considering dimensions of only 70 x 140 mm and a weight of 470 grams. The circular shape and dimensions practically resemble those of a Monster can, allowing it to be placed inside a backpack, in the bottle cage of a bike or to be left in the dashboard of your car to always have it available in case of emergency. .
But small size does not mean low power, on the contrary Mojietu Cordless Speed Air Pump Lightning is able to generate an inflation of 10L / min. This translates into a certain speed in the inflating operation for example of a tire, which in the case of dimensions of 195/55 / R15 and completely deflated, it will take only 9 minutes to bring it under pressure.
However, we have not yet finished analyzing our electric pump, which on the front instead also offers a practical LED that will allow you to illuminate the tire during the darkest hours, but if necessary you can switch the LED to the red color: a first mode for the simple signaling of the position or you can switch to SOS mode, i.e. the LED will alternate its flashing according to the SOS recall code.
But the beauties do not end here because at the top, where we also find the connections for the flexible hose, there is a display from which to view information relating to the selected operating mode or simply the pressure value of the tubular to which we have connected the hose. In fact the Mojietu portable compressor is able to automatically detect the pressure level, while with the soft touch buttons positioned at the ends of the display we can for example increase / decrease the pressure value we want to reach, activate the torch and related modes, start the inflation phase or take advantage of 4 preset modes, such as bicycles, motorcycles, cars and balls. The only drawback? Poor readability in direct sunlight, but it will be enough to cast a little shade with the palm of your hand.
In this case we will have already predefined values, but which can be changed. In any case, the Mojietu pump is able to deliver from a minimum of 0.2 BAR to a maximum of 10.3 BAR or from 3 to 150 psi with an accuracy of +/- 1.5 psi (1 BAR = 14.5 psi).
Why do we have two units? Well the reason is dictated by the fact that generally on car tires a pressure value expressed in BAR is indicated while for example on bicycle tubulars the value is expressed in psi. In any case, by holding down the mode change button, you can change the unit of measurement that is most congenial to you. Finally, I would like to clarify that the operating temperatures of the Mojietu pump range from -10 ° C to + 45 ° C, perhaps obvious to say but in reality it makes us understand that we can use the gadget in every season, from the coldest winters to more torrid and hot summers.
All very nice true, but how does this "thing" work? Well its use is fool proof, as it is sufficient to remove the left side of the hose from its housing and then select the desired pressure or use the pre-set modes. At this point, press the soft touch start button and once the set pressure is reached, the smart compressor will stop automatically.
To turn off the gadget, simply reinsert the flexible tube in its housing, but you will still have about ten seconds to eventually start the flashlight or the SOS / presence signal mode. Another positive factor to note is the reduced noise in action, equal to a maximum of 75 dB. Of course, if you need to inflate balls, sunbeds or other, you can take advantage of the nozzles supplied while for use only with car tires you must point out that for the correct anchoring of the flexible hose to the valve of the car wheel, you will have to act on the rough surface. terminal and turn to screw.
Inflating a tire with Mojietu's smart compressor will take slightly longer than with an electric inflator, a time that increases exponentially when higher pressures are reached, precisely because the motor has to make more force. But, timing aside, in practical terms there is no difference between this portable electric pump and a larger, more expensive model.
PROJECTED IMPACT
We then came to the usual conclusions for the Mojietu Cordless Speed Air Pump Lightning, which are undoubtedly positive net of a purchase price that is around 40 euros. Such a product is definitely recommended to everyone, even to all those who have just bought a scooter or electric bike, but of course to motorists and for those who often go on vacation and love inflatables. In short, everything that can be inflated, the Mojietu pump is suitable for the purpose.
Of course, asking for professional performance would be rather stupid, but having a portable battery-powered compressor with this quality and performance is definitely impossible, but above all it is its precision that has convinced me the most. In fact, I compared it to a professional tool used by tire specialists and / or petrol stations: the result of the measurements was the same for both the professional product and the Mojietu pump.
Its usefulness cannot be explained in a few lines, but I assure you that even the most skeptical, when they try it, will change their mind and want to own one. I am one of those users who would never have thought of buying such a gadget, yet here I am, wanting it as a child does at Christmas with gifts.
